The City Mission for the Poor.

The City Mission for the Poor Is With
out doubt the best organization OF the
kind that has existed in Staunton. in its
| objects, its methods, and best of all IN the
opportunity it affords the healthy and self
respecting poor to aid themselves by work.
Indeed. while the Mission helps the help
less, its attention never flags in providing
work for those who csn help themselves.
1t is now four months.old, and In that
time has distributed hundreds Of dollars
to relieve suffering, and to purchase goods
which can be manufactured into garments
by honest toilers who are thus enabled to
live. The product of this work is on sale
at Mrs. Merriken 3 at cheap prices, and the
sale is for the purpose of buying more
goods and furnishing more work. In its
labor the Mission recognizes no creed nor
nationality, but furnishes work and help to
all needing them, while the Mission itself
is composed of prominent ladies of all the
churches. The following is its organiza-
tion:
Ofcers.-Mrs. P. H. Trout, President;
Mrs. Jno. W. Stout, Private Secretary;
Mrs. A. M. Henkel, Vice President;
Mrs. W. l.. Olivier, Secretary; Mrs. T. T.
Allen. Treasurer.
Board of Managers.-Mrs. E. B. Lips
comb, Mrs. M. P. Funkhouser, Mrs. w.
L. Bumgardner, Mrs. J ohm Hoge, Mrs. M.
E. Cootes, Mrs. T. G. Morton, Mrs. Alex.
Hart.
Visiting Conanaittee.-Mrs.H 81. st. George
Tucker, Mrs. Frank Prufer, Mrs. Mar
garet Hartman, Mrs. II. Risk, Mrs. Berke-
ley Minor. Mrs. VIM. Asst, Mrs. A. II.
Fultz, Mrs. B. F. Stockton, Mrs. G. II.

tered every house IN the city where
there was reason to believe that want ex-
listed, and visited and inquired into every
individual case that has been brought to
their attention. The city is districted and
each lady visitor has been assigned the
care of three INDECENT families. Cases of
great suffering have been reached by
these ladies which could never have been
induced to apply for help, and OF which
the public had and would have had no
knowledge-cases that would have starved
before applying to the City Overseer of
tho Poor, but we're eager to work when
work would be given them.
This Mission needs help that it may be
helpful. Its own members makes month
ly contribution to its treasury to be used
for charity, but that of necessity must
fall short of the demands upon it. The
Mission has made but one collection in the
city, that made by Commissioner Crowder.
1t has double claim upon our people-that
based upon its noble object, and that based
upon the fact that it is the most success
full effort ever made here to aid the self
respecting and Industrious poor.
